This induction of curvature leads to SARS-CoV-2's spherical shape. "If we can better understand how the virus assembles itself, then, in principle, we can come up with ways to stop that process ...

Bird flu has decimated poultry flocks and infected cattle herds. The risk to humans is currently low, but that could easily ...

The labs of two of these researchers, Takeshi Noda and Takao Hashiguchi, are revealing the detailed shapes of viruses at the atomic level, with a focus on filoviruses, such as Ebola, as well as ...

Viruses vary in shape from simple helical and icosahedral shapes, to more complex structures. They are about 1/100th the size of bacteria. The origins of viruses in the evolutionary history of ...

"Historically, scientists have focused on viruses in the ocean for their role in lysing (breaking open) cells. Our work shows that intact virus-infected cells are biochemically and physiologically ...
